Stock Monitoring

Click
and pick an operation from the list:
- š¹ Sale: An outgoing transaction where products are sold to customers. This decreases the product quantity in inventory.
- š¹ Sale Return: A reverse sale transaction where previously sold products are returned by the customer. This increases the product quantity back in inventory.
- š¹ Purchase: An incoming transaction representing the acquisition of products from a supplier. This increases inventory quantity and may update the purchase price.
- š¹ Purchase Return: A reverse purchase transaction where products are returned to the supplier. This decreases the inventory quantity accordingly.
- š¹ Inventory Checking: A process of physically verifying product quantities in storage and updating the system to reflect actual stock levels. Differences between expected and actual stock are automatically adjusted.
- š¹ Write-off: Used to remove damaged, expired, or lost products from inventory. This operation reduces stock levels without financial transactions.
- š¹ Assemble: Combines multiple components into a single finished product. The component quantities are reduced, and the finished product quantity is increased.
- š¹ Disassemble: The reverse of an assembly. A finished product is broken down into its component parts. This increases the component quantities and decreases the finished product.
- š¹ Transfer: Moves products from one store, warehouse, or location to another within the organization. Stock levels change between locations but the total remains the same.
- š¹ Revaluation: Changes the selling price or purchase price of a product. This operation updates pricing without affecting stock quantity.
- š¹ Produce: Used to record the in-house production of goods. Raw material quantities are decreased, and the newly produced product quantity is increased in inventory.
